The refreshed Gong Gong Festival of Creativity scheduled for March 2025 is picking up some steam as new awards categories have been adopted by the Executive Council of AAG. The new categories are meant to align the Gong Gong Awards with other regional and global awards categories. This would ensure that winners of any of the categories could easily enter their work for any regional and global awards.

In all, there are 16 main categories. However, each major category is made of either two, three or four different categories. The Executive Council is currently setting up a fixed board to oversee the Gong Gong awards and the advertising week celebrations. According to the Executive Council, call for entries will happen before the year 2024 ends. It is also expected that the Jury for the awards would be announced before the years ends.

Thursday 14^th November, 2024 has been slated for a briefing session for all agencies to explain the requirements for each category and the online entry processes. Entries for the refreshed Gong Gong awards would be done online, going forward. The eligibility period for the awards would cover 2023 and 2024.
